Or if its handier, maybe get the luas in? Drops you at the door, no need to worry about parking or traffic. Theres load of work going on in town this weekend. I'd look it up just to be sure.

The PAC Lady said early September, whereas the Sergeant at the orientation said in the next 10 days for those that did it last week...

This is what I used. There is only one clip on youtube so do it under exam conditions. Also if you search back through pre 2009 post on Garda recruitment you'll find some very useful information. But honestly have a read of this and it'll give you a good idea of what you need to do. Plus there's an example of good/poor report writing. Skip down to the Phase II: Writing Sample.

So the report I read through on that example you gave me is pretty much what they look for in the exam? Thanks for helping by the way!

No worries. Did you watch the video on youtube? Try doing it in real time. Oh and take the americanisms out. I found the tips they give in the study guide pretty useful, too.

The stage 2 familiarisation material tells you what PAS/HRM are looking for. Just practice with the Columbus Ohio stuff and adapt it for over here. That's what I did anyhow and I passed. Best of luck with it.

I was suppose to have my stage 2 assessment tomorrow. i booked it in july over the phone and got a date and time, i never got a confirmation email so called public jobs and they have no recollection of me booking my assessment. Has this happened to anyone else here

Hey again everyone,

Just an update for anyone who took the in house exam on the 27th - They are hoping to have results given to us next week. At least I can now relax been checking emails/boards/PAS non stop as I'm sure some of you have too.

Who said this? Will the people who did it on the 25th get it earlier?

I think it will come at the end of this week. They usually give a later date just to stop everyone ringing them..

Hello folks, just popped in to see if anyone could help me with a quick question. My Stage 2 tests are starting at half 2 on Thursday, around what time could I expect to be finished?

Depends on if you have an induction talk before or after. The talk takes about 40mins to an hour and the tests take about an hour and a half. Set aside 3 hours for all of it just to include people registering and late people. Eg if you have your test after the talk you should be out by 4/4.30. If the talk is before you should be done by 3/3.30

Does anyone know if passport/driver licence is the only form of photo ID accepted or would an age card or student leap card be ok ???

I think Garda issued IDs are ok. I wouldn't chance the student card cos try aren't Garda issued. When I was there it was licence and passport. You could chance the Garda age card.

JN94

I don't see why they would have an issue with Garda age card. It has your DOB,Full name and a picture.
Thanks

Expect a new recruitment campaign to start in the next few months. Stage 2 testing is finished on Friday.

They're pretty Leniant, if it's not too bad they'll pass you, they don't particularly want to fail you

It's under a few headings. If I recall they are: content, structure of report, grammar and spelling!

Remember don't panic if you miss a few key details! They are interested in your observation skills but also in how you conduct the report itself for example neatness and legibility!

I agree there with you, with getting the vetting done too next year I'd say !!

Good luck

Is it this week when we get the results? .. I make it out to be three weeks now and PAS said it'd be this week.

JN94

How long does it usually take to receive your results from stage 2 ???

Wouldnt be so sure about November. During the induction. They made them seem like their really desperate and are trying to funnel people through

Theflycatcher

Got my stage 2 results just there now, passed, thank God. on to stage 3 interview in early September.......best of luck to everybody else.

ganthy

In the email it says;

The Interview Form must be titled CandidateID_Firstname_Surname, (e.g.
012345678_Joe_Bloggs).

Where do we put this exactly?

In the 'subject' part when you send it by email.

Could some1 upload the interview form here. Seems to be something wrong with it in my mail.

It wouldn't work for me when trying to open on google chrome, safari, internet explorer.
If I remember correctly I opened it on Mozilla firefox no problem.
Try that

Its what you name the interview form when you save it. So when you attach the file it has your name and canditate id.
